JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 11th January Morning Slot - No. 11)

The resistance of the meter bridge AB in given figure is 4 $$\Omega $$. With a cell of emf $$\varepsilon $$ = 0.5 V and rheostat resistance Rh = 2 $$\Omega $$ the null point is obtained at some point J. When the cell is replaced by another one of emf $$\varepsilon $$ = $$\varepsilon $$2 the same null point J is found for Rh = 6 $$\Omega $$. The emf $$\varepsilon $$2 is, :

0.3 V

0.5 V
0.4 V

Explanation

Potential gradient with Rh = 2$$\Omega $$

is $$\left( {{6 \over {2 + 4}}} \right) \times {4 \over L} = {{dV} \over {dL}};$$   L $$=$$ 100 cm

Let null point be at $$\ell $$ cm

thus $$\varepsilon $$1 $$=$$ 0.5V $$=$$ $$\left( {{6 \over {2 + 4}}} \right) \times {4 \over L} \times \ell $$      . . .(1)

Now with Rh $$=$$ 6$$\Omega $$ new potential gradient is

$$\left( {{6 \over {4 + 6}}} \right) \times {4 \over L}$$ and at null point

$$\left( {{6 \over {4 + 6}}} \right)\left( {{4 \over L}} \right) \times \ell = {\varepsilon _2}$$                          . . .(2)

dividing equation (1) by (2) we get

$${{0.5} \over {{\varepsilon _2}}} = {{10} \over 6}$$ thus $${\varepsilon _2} = 0.3$$
